IMPORTANT FOX WICHITA.

An important extension Of the Santa Fl
lines has now become directly tributary Il
Wichita 1t includes that portion OF the
Southern Kansas railway west and south Of
Wellington, including the Hunnewel
branch, Medicine Lodge branch, the main
line to Kiowa, and the Southern Kansas
railway tKiowa extension having been
turned over to the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe. As this portion heretofore has
been operated by the Southern Kansas line
it has caused expensive transfers OF freight
with consequent delays both 10 freight and
passengers. Under the new arrangement
through billing of freight without transfer
viii be commenced at once and the new
running arrangements of passenger trains
will probably be made il the near future.
As our readers are aware the Southern
Kansas railway by their Kiowa extension
have reached the Pan Handle OF Texas.
Thus it viii be seen that Wichita viii have a
new channel for communication with that
wonderful country, whose resources in the
way Of agricultural wealth and present
prosperity are almost hmitless. The total
milage added represents something over 200
miles and is rapidly extending.

he was yesterday shown some Of the leading

that Wichita far exceeds his sxpectasiors

COL. b. Fl. CAMPBELL.


WICHITA, Kan, Sept Burton Il. Camp
bell, prominent citizen of this place and
superintendent of the Texas cattle syndicate,
has been deposed from that position, and it
is rumored that he is short in his accour is
$500, 600. The rumor cannot be traced to any
reliable source, however, and is generally
discredited by the gentlemaE's friends.
He was at one time O resident Of Monroe,
Mich.
MONROE, Michigan, Sept. burton n.
Campbell, who is now a resident of Wichita,
Kansas, was citizen of this place for many
years and was man OF most excellent repu-
tation. He was well known. not only here
but throughout southern Michigan, and the
rumor of his downfall in the west is not be-
lieved. He has relatives here who are among
our best people. The syndicate for which he
has been acting as superintendent is COM
posed mostly of Chicago capitalists.
The above dispatches, from an old paper,
and which we incidently picked up frcm our
table, reminds US of something which we
probably should have said to the people ire
this. The editor Of the EAGLE was away
from the city at time when a
number of dispatches were sent
out from Chicago containing grave charges
against Col B. H. Campbell who had been for a
long time recognized as one Of this city's most
substantial citizens. Upon our return home
finding that the EAGLE had published a
statement of the difficulty, and fearing a
wrong had been done and to satisfy ourself
as to the VII ole matter and being unwilling
to believe that man Of such Judgment and
integrity and Of such financial standing
could possibly lend himself to or become the
principal in such questionable transaction
as was charged in the dispatches alluded to,
we quietly instituted an inquiry through a
friend whom we had reason to know, possess
ed the means of IT adily getting at the facts.
We have rot seen Colonel Campbell since
the disparaging dispatches were first sent out
and therefore, of course, do not know
whether be cares now for the matter one
way or the other, but right is right and we
are pleased to say that the explanation pub
lished in the EAGLE at the time was not
half strong enough. There is not a
shadow of doubt in our minds that Colonel
Campbell is not only not guilty of any
crooked transactions in his connection with
the cattle syndicate but that the whole row
was instituted to get him to withdraw from
the company for selfish purposes which we
are not at liberty to disclose, at least until
we can have seen Col Campbell and obtain
ed his permission
We are glad TO have picked up he above
endorsement sent out by the Associated
Press agent at bis old home, and glad also to
be able to remove any cloud or shadow Of
suspicion which this paper may have, in pub
fishing Jews secured by wire, cas-. upon the
character or good name Of one OF our own
rse
